Questions regarding Emblems w/ Body kits.

Well my FD is currenty getting
a Mazdaspeed GTC body kit mounted
and painted.

well in anticipation of getting my car redone.
I ordered the Efini Front emblems, wanted
the Rears but were out of stock, and the
Efini RX7 Sticker.

Well to my suprise the Emblem isn't just a STICK on
It actually has 3 prongs on it.

So my questionsare.. For you guys that use the
efini emblems with aftermarket body kits.
1. Did you drill holes in your new bumper and paint
to install the emblems?? Or did you cut/sand the
prongs down and used some kind of STICKY stuff??
If you used sticky stuff, what you use??

2. Are there any differnce in the FRONT and rear
Efini emblems?? the RX7store was out of stock of
the rear ones. Anyone use the Front on the rear??

3. If you can, can you post pics of the Front and rear
efini emblems on your car?? and if you got a rear pic
with the emblem and the RX7 EFINI sticker on.. Would
be great.

Thanks

if you decide to cut off the prongs, you can use double sided tape to stick it on, that is how I have it on my car and have no problems what so ever. you can buy it at a hobby shop..

if the double sided tape didn't seem to be so effective for everyone here, i would say use hot glue and silicone
that's what we use at work to get **** to stick, if we don't want it coming off any time soon

btw, the front & rear emblems are curved differently. If you use the wrong one, it's kinda obvious. Ask me how I know
